PARSHAS VAYECHI – IBN EZRA’S ENCOUNTER WITH THE EMISSARY OF SHABBOS - Rabbi Scheiner (Audio Only)

I would like to share with you an interesting episode that happened this Friday night yudal tavis almost 870 years ago in the times of the rishim a long Friday night in England. The story centers around the Evan Ezra Reb Evan Ezra who had a dream liabesh when he was approached from the Hashabas the officer of Shabas. He was presented with the Geras of Shabas the letter of Shabas. And in the letter is written the following. I'm going to quote some of it. Most of the letter speaks about the beauty of Shabas. And the letter begins Shabasim Shabas the fourth of Deris. It's a o for generations demon didn't fall on shabas because of me these sigh for the people living and also for the people that were nif already is not and so on and you make kdesh a whole is going through the beauty of shabas Then towards the end of the letter, Shambas Kaidesh comes with a Tina with a complaint and says the following and your older age, your older years, you have a safer that's found by you that says and therefore Shabas says, I don't want you to be quiet about about it. I need you to take action about it. As the as it's written the story, the Evan Ezra says to Evanzra, I was bothered so much and I responded to the letter to Shabas and I saidi, what did I do wrong? And goes through to say how he was shabas before shabas came I went out to go be shabas also shabas I used to send shabas away to sing shabas and therefore the ezra asks shabas please explained to me why is it that I got this letter and Shabas responded with the following. These are safer written that you have under your maybe in the house that it was staying over there in London and your library was there and it says on the PK with a over there to say that the way how the day goes is the day and then the night not the night then the day first the day then the night if you go with that if you're going to pas like that it comes out you're being shabas shabas starts by night and then by day and here it says that the each day starts starts from the day then the night which means the shabas that night would be the shabas. Debzar heard this he got up. He took the safer and opened it up to read it. It's smack a middle of the month. is a full moon and he read the safer with the light of the moon and he taken it says this is how the story is recorded. The Evanzra ripped up this purish, at least this part, he ripped it up on Shabas. And Evanzra said needed to rip it right away. either that no one should see it afterwards, no one should get it to to make a strong statement upon him. Then the Ezra said made another that he's going to write a letter, a very deep powerful letter to explain why it's not like that. And let's talk what Evanzra did. He wrote to Ngeras. We have this letter a long letter going through the day the month of and the year of the Jewish calendar. This story is brought in the div and the beginning of brings it was in London which house what house we're talking about over here. It's interesting to note we have over here the music in the background. It's interesting to note that the Evan Ezra wrote composed two nigimas. The first niggan is a niggan that is sang Friday night. It's brought that sang the whole entire and is made that he heard from hisb that said because in this wrote these very deep concepts and it's shabas and he added said that there's no suffic that Ezra was this song this said was there's another song a second song that Evan Ezra wrote the song that sang more by day because we keep shabas the shall watch us the shall protect us. So you move down towards the end there's a real line somebody that's will be destroyed will die and then it says afterwards el I'm gonna dive in on shabas arvis shak mus to say this point that Shabas those that want to say that this whole song Dean Ezra was Messim after this story of getting the letter of Shabas and the that there could have been a big Shabas that people would keep Shabas the day and then the night that Ezra wrote composed this and talk what it says to shai about being shabas. This would have been a Shabas and like what it says afterwards I'm going to d on Shabas and being that Shabas starts by night it's shak and then however of course being that we are shabas the gist of the of the whole neon most of it it's all that says being that we to enhance our Shabas to connect to Shabas or we have over here a Wednesday night Shabas a person appear before Shabas and S on Shabas to make sure to utilize the sud shabas organization that's in preparing preparing for shabas which should be the of shabas have a wonderful shabas
